Whoa, a small commuter plane landed on Loudoun County Parkway. I wonder what on earth happened.

| I was wondering if they tried to clear the PW before the plane hit. It's a miracle there were no deaths. |

| Where exactly? |

Never mind. I thought this was the same article I read earlier. This one says where. |

| The visibility was very poor with the snow squalls. |

It was a loss of power where they tried to turn back to the airport but had to put it down on the highway. |

They didn’t. The pilot was incredibly skilled to just cause a hard landing and guardrail damage. |

Not really a miracle. Just a good pilot using his training and landing it when he lost power. It's a $2.5 million very capable turbine engine plane. |

What are you asking? Of course they tried to clear the road the whole day. Before the plane hit? It didn't really hit. It landed on the road. |

| Saw on the news the guy on the road behind the plane. He is one lucky guy he didn't get landed on. |

He probably slowed down when the plane flew overhead at an altitude of 50 feet. |

That’s why planes need horns. They could have been honking as they were coming in. |

I am unlikely to look up from my phone for honking. |

| If he was able to plan the landing he may have waited till the cars were clear enough to see him going down. Clearly the drivers behind him were paying attention if they stopped and ran to help. Lucky all the way around. |
